Yesterday morning Kim tweeted “I will not stand 4 bullying!!! I hope every last high schooler @BrielleZolciak school hears me loud and clear I will be at the school all day.” Then today she tweeted,”I am appalled at the school system and how they handle bullying! I will take matters in my own hands NOW!!” Seems like mama bear is still worked up about whatever the issue is. Brielle, who is a twitter addict has not tweeted since May 8th at 2:30 when she tweeted “Please stop asking me and other people what happened. It’s none of your business and stop spreading rumors.”
I hope they get this worked out. Nobody deserves to be bullied. I don’t usually moderate comments here but I will remove any posts that are in any way negative to children. Please be respectful.
Bullying is not right in any way, shape, or form.However, Kim, when you and your family put your business on front street (via tv and twitter) people are going to comment. You gotta take the good comments with the bad ones–sometimes its in a blog and other times, unfortunately its in your face (and at school..)I have issues with Brielle (along with Willow Smith) being on twitter anyway. I think they're just too young for this.
Good on Kim for standing up against this issue. Kids are cruel without the added stress of having one's life aired on a "reality TV show" and it's important that Brielle's peers know that it is not tolerated.
Unfortunately, bullying has been around since time began. I don't blame any mother for being outraged by their child being bullied, nor taking a school system to task for not handling it. Of course we don't know all the details of the event, nor the school's side. However, that being said – any parent has the right to step in and protect their child. Especially in a day where guns, knives, drugs and other serious issues are present in even the lower grades of school. Heck, I remember being bullied in Jr. High School – 40 years ago. This is yet another good reason why reality stars should not expose their children on their shows.
Bullying is NOT ok. Haven't enough poor children been driven to end their own lives? When will the school systems stop acting like it's a normal thing that kids go thru? It isn't like it was when we were growing up. Texting and websites like Twitter and Facebook can make it so much worse! Parents HAVE to get involved in their childrens' lives and make it a point to find out what is going on. I don't always like Kim or her behavior on that show, but I gotta give her props for being proactive about her child.
This doesn't sound like something created on Twitter and for the most part – I have no issues with a 16yo having an account. It's how they communicate these days…especially since you said she's not being an idiot.However, Kim needs to keep whatever the situation is on the downlow like her obviously smarter daughter. By HER tweeting that she's going to bash heads (metaphorically) she just brought MORE attention to a situation it seems Brianna would like to keep quiet.Kim IS smart to get involved and put an end to whatever. Bullying is very real and can truly harm a child. Good for her for stepping in. Just deal with it with some decorum.WD
Kim is absolutely doing the right thing. Sadly, this past Sunday, a female freshman committed suicide. She attended the same high school as my freshman son. My son said she was ALWAYS smiling & had a ton of friends. Facebook & Twitter comments from classmates say the same. But, these same classmates are also saying bullying has got to stop. The school sent out an email Monday afternoon notifying parents of her suicide & explaining how it's possible for kids not to show any signs of depression. I am absolutely devastated for this family & can't stop thinking about her & her parents.
I'm #TeamKim on this one. I personally had a horrible bullying experience involving my son, and the school district did nothing. I had to home-school my son for awhile and now things are back on track. Schools just ignore the problems or pretend as if you're overreacting.
I think Karma is now hitting Kim in the ass. Unfortunately, she is learning her lesson via her daughter. There were many times in the past when I thought several remembers of RHOA were adult bullies, Kim being one of them.Not fair for her to put her children on this show… sorry to say this but I am surprised she did not see this coming. I think Sheree was smart to protect her youngest daughter.
It seems like last year around August/September 2011, Kim was tweeting about someone bullying or bothering Brielle. I actually thought she talked about it on RHOA with her hair stylist. I wonder if it is really bullying or she is being teased about being on TV. I think people over use the word Bully so much that it doesn't mean the same anymore. I think it started when Kim put Brielle in public school. When Kim was with Big Poppa, Brielle went to private school. I guess Kim thought if she lived in rich/upper class neighborhood, and sent her children to school with high income children that she wouldn't have those kinds of problems.
Bottom line is no minors should be allowed on these reality shows. Especially, with the ramped up drama and even violence we see nowadays. Anybody remember RHoOC Laurie Peterson's youngest daughter? She was not only bullied at school, thanks to the show, but also by adults on the internet. Unmercifully so. Kim is an irresponsible parent. Her girls should have been off limits to any public display and most certainly a show where only the most dramatic players survive for another season.
I agree with the anonymous poster (May @ 7:44pm) I do not think this is bullying..at ALL. I think Ms Brielle, was on cloud nine using her fame from the show, until someone did not agree with her changing her last name to Bierman (sp) Not everyone is in agreement with this and probably stated as such. It probably was something as innocous as an associate/friend commenting to Brielle with:, " Hey, Brielle are you changing your last name so that you'll be more popular?" I imagine it was something as simple as that, and it was'nt something she (Brielle) wanted to hear. I don't know; but I do know that Kim is out of line in Twitter-bullying the school system and tweeting ridiculous bullying remarks and using her twitter followers/fans to take some kind of verbal/physical action on her behalf, and that my friend, is BULLYING
Kim better worry about her foul mouth more than defending her daughter who shouldn't be hanging out on Twitter, anyway. Trash, pure trash.
